I found this to be a fascinating read that was extremely suspenseful. David Miller has certainly done his research, as it would take a great deal of research and work to make the story so seamless. The book showed how the actions of a single person can have far reaching results better than any book I can think of, other than perhaps the Bible.

The plot was masterful. It was very realistic. And the characters were all well rounded believable people. They helped me understand better than ever before the motivations behind all the different groups involved.

This is not a book for children or young people. It is much too frightening and deals with very adult issues.

If you enjoy books by Tom Clancy, this is a book you should read. I think you will be drawn in the way I was, and carried through the story as fast as you can read. I can't wait to read the third book. I am very curious how David Miller will resolve the story. Thank you for a riveting read! And please keep writing, David, we're all waiting.

I just finished reading Advent by David Miller. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and heartily endorse anyone to read it.

Keep your mind open because this deals with tough subject matter. Mr Miller weaves a tale that is plausible within the societies in our current world. I am disturbed by the fact that it can be. We all need to stay aware of how our leaders and those around them can and do affect the course of events every day of our lives.

It is set in many locales and shows how different people and/or cultures perceive things. That knowledge is useful, to my mind. No one has a lock on all wisdom and is always right or wrong.

The book is a page turner and thoroughly engaging. I highly recommend this book.

I just love this author! I read his second book Advent immediately after reading the Year of the Tiger (his first book) reading both books in a week's time. I absolutely love his style and the way he tells the story even though it leaves a haunting thought of the terrorist situation in the real world today. While the author is explaining the terrorist storyline he then weaves in a religious aspect that I just wasn't expecting. Awesome read! This is not the usual type of book I read but you just don't want to put the book down until you read the last page. I cannot wait until the third book comes out to see what happens to the world as we know it - in David Miller's mind. Please don't make us wait too long Mr. Miller!

I absolutely love this author! He keeps you on the edge of your seat so you don't want to put it down, you have to keep reading it to find out what happens next. He makes you feel like you are right there and you have to tell yourself it isn't real, it is just a book. I highly recommend this to all readers. I can't wait until he writes more!
